Sports and films make for a merry romance. Lara Dutta finds herself in the throes of it, writes Ashwini Deshmukh. Oh yes, the actress is also ready to direct her first film.

She’s just back from an outdoor schedule and is packing her valises for another. She’s off to Paris to model for Louis Vuitton at the Paris Fashion Week. “Once a model, always a model,” she says excitedly. Clearly Lara Dutta is bustling with activity. There are hazaar things to do before she can zoom off to Paris. She has to make arrangements for her dogs, look after minute things around her house, the works. For the time being, she’s packed off her three dogs to another part of the house so that we can chat in peace. She looks exquisite as she walks across in a short dress. Her caramelised skin glows sans make-up. After she’s done with her chores, she makes herself comfortable beside me. “The most difficult part of my career is being a single woman,” she sighs. “I live on my own. I don’t have the support system of parents who look after my finances, home and everything else so that I can just concentrate on bagging my next role or winning my next award.”

Actress-producer Lara Dutta is loving the experience of being behind the camera, but she says producing films is not easy.

Lara, who turned producer with the 2011 film “Chalo Dilli”, told: “I’m doing a lot of stuff which is behind the camera, so that’s a new phase for me and I am enjoying being behind the cameras more than anything else. It’s been a tremendous learning experience and I had a great experience with ‘Chalo Dilli’ and I’m proud of my film that I made.”

The movie features Lara and Vinay Pathak. “The idea was to grow by making a medium budget film which is high on content. In this industry, it’s hard to come by good content… it’s a tough job, and being a producer is not easy. I am enjoying in that process,” she added.

What about plans of directing a film? “I’am not going to direct in a hurry. There is lot of production work going on right now. I am excited about it.” Besides producing films, Lara Dutta also plans to produce TV shows.

“We are going to be looking at TV, but I can’t talk about it. You will hear about it. Television is opening up massively, people will see many more changes on TV… we have got interesting things and a great show in plans.” Meanwhile, on the big screen, the actress will be seen in the “Chalo Dilli” sequel, which will soon go on floors.

Actress-producer Lara Dutta is excited about doing a sequel to her debut film production “Chalo Dilli”, but says the new project will not be a continuation of the 2011 entertainer.

“The sequel to ‘Chalo Dilli’ will be a fresh film altogether and not a continuation. We have different characters in that,” said Lara.

“Chalo Dilli”, directed by Shashant Shah, features Lara and Vinay Pathak in the lead.

Apart from the sequel, what should one look forward to from Lara on the work front?

“There are multiple things happening right now. I am working on my production house, we have been talking about the sequel to ‘Chalo Dilli’ with Eros (Eros International) and that’s in pipeline. The film is in pre-production.”

“I’m very excited about ‘Chalo Dilli’ sequel. It will go on floors soon. But I can’t talk about the other projects,” added the former beauty queen.

Actress Lara Dutta, who had taken a sabbatical post the birth of her baby, says she is focusing on movies now and will be shooting for a film this year.

Now, the actress-producer is gearing up for a comeback in films. “Right now I am focusing only on doing films. I am definitely going to be back in films, you will see me soon. I am shooting this year, the release is not in my hands. I can’t talk about which films I am doing,” Dutta said in a media interaction here.

“Everyone knows that we are doing a sequel to ‘Chalo Delhi’, that is in pre-production stage. I am quite excited about it. Besides this, there are films that I am doing outside my production house,” she said.

‘Chalo Dilli’ (2011), directed by Shashant Shah, had Dutta and Vinay Pathak in the lead and Akshay Kumar in a guest appearance. Now, Dutta is getting ready to roll a sequel, reportedly titled ‘Chalo China’.

“There is a lot happening this year with my production house Bheegi Basanti Entertainment. We are producing films and TV shows,” she said.

Though Bollywood actors are seen on the small screen, Dutta is clear she won’t be coming on television.

Colgate showcased its latest technology at this forum, creating an interactive segment between Dr. Sandesh Mayekar eminent dentist from Mumbai, and Lara Dutta, a well-known Bollywood actress in her role as a mother concerned about the dental health of her daughter.

Former Miss Universe and doting mother Lara Dutta said, “Colgate and oral care have been synonymous for years. I am delighted that Colgate launched an innovative solution for the biggest oral care problem like cavities. It indeed got me worried to learn that our daily and modern day foods contribute to cavities. With Colgate Maximum Cavity Protection plus Sugar Acid Neutralizer TM, I am now assured that my family and I can fight cavities.”
